Nahamu welcomes the recommendations relating to mandatory reporting of child sexual abuse in the @InquiryCSA Report

We believe that some of the measures should go further.

We urgently need a regime with teeth.

From today, rabbis (and other faith leaders) will be included in the 'position of trust' legislation, meaning it is against the law for them to have a sexual relationship with 16 and 17 year olds.
@YehudisG and others have campaigned on this for years.
